CASA DE ARTES

This establishment created in 1964 looks more like a museum than a store. The objects appear to be on display, with entire rooms dedicated to certain collections. This is the case for the wooden masks used during the traditional dances, a kind of one-hour show similar to theater, mixing music and dialogues. The attentive staff guides the visitor through the musical instruments, fabrics, jewels and statues, while providing fascinating anecdotes about Guatemalan crafts, especially weaving. Not to be missed.
